Anyone knows how to get Webull Linux Client to install on Fedora? See link below. https://www.webull.com/introduce Cur rently it supports debian based distros only. I don't think the app is open sourced otherwise I would just compiled it from source code. This leaves me two options, use some hackery to unpacked the .deb installer file and get it to install on Fedora somehow or use wine to run the windows version. I would like to try the first option first. Anyone has any experience in doing this?
Consider trying the installation command for alien. It’s available via DNF and some package manager tools.
does not work. However i have a good alternative. I just install it on a ubuntu machine, can be live usb or vm and then copy and past over the executable binary file to my fedora machine. Same underlying operating system, same cpu. no reason to not work.
In fact, there are several factors that could be involved. Typically, packages include more than just one executable. They might rely on particular directory paths that differ across distributions. Dependency versioning is important—this AUR page recommends downgrading NSS, for instance. Alien can convert it to a RPM for installation, but if that doesn’t work, you can use "ar x package.deb" and then extract the data.tar to the right place. You’ll have to handle dependencies and permissions yourself. Spoiler: it’s not always straightforward.
Disappointing. Despite the identical architecture, binaries typically rely on varied library paths and distribution-specific settings. Unless it's extremely straightforward, I wouldn't assume a single binary would function across different distros. That said, Webull seems uncomplicated enough to potentially work, you'll need to test it. This might not be the main focus, but it appears well-suited for a Snap or Flatpack strategy. I’d likely reach out to the developers and recommend it if I were you.
